Again http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/nfl/players/full/13197.png&w=65&h=90&scale=crop&background=0xcccccc&transparent=false Sam Bradford was arguably having the best season of his career before tearing the ACL in his left knee last season during Week 7. The Rams will again have to adjust to life without Bradford this season, as he tore the same ACL Saturday night.

It is the same injury that sidelined Bradford in the middle of last season.
Rams coach Jeff Fisher is expected to confirm the news at his 5 p.m. CT news conference after meeting with his staff.
Bradford took what appeared to be a light hit from Cleveland's Armonty Bryant as he threw incomplete to tight end Jared Cook. Bradford shrugged Bryant off, but the defensive lineman made contact with the quarterback's left knee.
Bradford fell to the ground in pain as Rams doctors and trainers rushed to his side. He limped off the field under his own power but favoring the left leg as he went to the locker room for further examination.
Veteran Shaun Hill replaced Bradford, going 2 of 6 for 45 yards.
Bradford was making his second start of the preseason after returning from a season-ending torn left ACL suffered against Carolina on Oct. 20, 2013. Bradford went 4 of 9 for 77 yards before leaving.
